Panathinaikos in Greece failed to defeat the league's outsiders
Panathinaikos lost to Kolossos in a closely contested game, with the final score being 102-97.
In a surprising upset, Panathinaikos was defeated by Kolossos with a score of 102-97 in a Greek league match. The game was closely contested, with both teams tied at 94-94 in the final minutes. However, Kolossos' Keondre Kennedy hit a crucial three-pointer, which shifted the momentum and secured the win for the visitors.
The loss was particularly significant for Panathinaikos, who struggled in the final moments, with key players T.J. Shorts, Kendrick Nunn, and Jerami Grant all committing turnovers. Despite having a strong performance from Cedi Osman, who scored 19 points, the team could not capitalize and secure the win at home. Meanwhile, Kolossos' Tevins Mack shone with 19 points and six successful three-pointers, leading his team to victory.
The absence of star player M. Grigonis, who was not registered for the Greek championship matches, further impacted Panathinaikos' performance. This defeat raises concerns about the team's competitiveness in the league, especially given that they could not manage to secure a win against the league's lower-ranked team, Kolossos, who are currently positioned at 5 wins and 13 losses.
